Ship your Vehicle Without Getting Ripped Off
11th July 2009
There is something about the auto transportation industry that attracts scams. Because the industry is complicated, it pays to get educated as to avoid getting ripped off.
Here are some tricks of the trade, to keep you from getting ripped off, or hit with hidden charges, fees, or other expenditures.
1. Do not “Bargain Shop” when choosing an auto transport company. This will ensure that your car will not be loaded on any carrier without a salesman calling you the day your supposed to have your car scheduled only to raise your quote price.
Don’t forget there are certain minimum costs to shipping a vehicle, such as gas. A company that comes in far cheaper than other companies, isn’t doing the shipping under costs. They have generally has found some unethical or abusive way to make their money.
2. Federal law requires auto shipping companies have liability and cargo insurance, however that doesn’t mean that they all have it. Do your homework.
3. Do not pay a deposit up front to anyone. It’s ok to provide your credit card information at the moment you place your order because you are making a reservation similar to booking a hotel room. Ask when they will charge the credit card.
It should happen once the truck has been scheduled and you are provided the carriers contact information as well as dates and estimated times for pickup and delivery.
4. Plan Ahead. Shipping takes time (usually around 3-5 for scheduling and 5-9 days for shipping), forgetting that will drastically increase your costs. Save yourself some money by understanding the shipping time frames.
If you follow these steps you will experience a painless auto transport. Happy Travels.
